I glanced out on the deck earlier and there was mother raccoon with two little ones. Mom always cuts and runs and doesn't even care about what happens to the kids.
the little ones always panic and run up the tree to "hide" rather then run down the tree and run away home. So funny to watch them.
Here they are both trying to scramble up the tree. One stopped on the first branch and the other is trying to scramble past him.
How can you not love that sweet little face.
Number two on the higher branch trying to be invisible.
Since this mom.....or a different one each year....always comes by with at least 2 babies, I always wonder what happens to them all. They obviously move on somewhere....or get killed. I don't want a bunch or to have them around permanently, but they are cute when they first show up. I'll have to cut back on bird seed and the outdoor cat's food so there will be no tempting treats for them each evening when they usually come around.

They looks like great fun to have around for a while.
Those 'innocent' faces are so cute.It's hard to even be upset with them.
They are so cute, and I admit I love seeing the babies.
So far this summer, we haven't had any baby raccoons left by their mother on our deck; however, I've eliminated almost all bird feeding off my decks because the squirrels and raccoons are so destructive at times. Then, of course, there are the bumps in the night when they pull things down or throw things over. But there is one adult raccoon I see almost every evening once or twice, making his usual rounds.
Enjoy your summer!
Oh, so, so cute! I haven't seen a baby coon this year...
